Love Letter Inspiration From Your Journal
"Ah man, that looks good," one of my faves... mental note, "make cider donuts this weekend with kids."Minutes later, my boss calls and I run off to fight a fire... mental note lost forever.
Stuff happens all day long, everyday: mouth-watering cider donut recipes, ideas for that book you always dreamed of writing, your most romantic idea ever...
How are you going to remember it all with life coming at you so fast? Write it down in a journal or else it may just be lost forever... or at least forgotten and not remembered until it's too late.
Three Easy Steps...
Step 1: Buy a small journal that you can carry with with you everywhere you go. Yes, everywhere... you never know when that big idea is going to show up.
Step 2: When you get an idea, see a recipe, anything... simply pull out your journal, date and number the top-right of the page, mark the left-hand column with a Tag, like: "recipe", "business idea", "love letter topic", "phone number",... and then record your item.
Step 3: Don't forget to index! Leave a few blank pages at the end of your journal for the sole purpose of indexing. Alphabetically, add each Tag used during the day to your index (i.e. if it's not already there). Then list the page number where that item is found.
It's so easy. Only a few minutes of effort and you recorded all your best ideas.
Now you know right where everything is... all your recipes are on pages 1,6, and 20; all your business ideas on pages 16 and 23; and all your love letter ideas on pages 1,2,3,4, and 5.
Tip: Don't pass up any thought, love letter idea, recipe... write them all down. That idea you thought was silly may just turn out to be the best idea you ever had.
